Enjoying Nature

River Riders (Bike Rental)

Rent a bike for a nice ride in Armstrong Woods or out to Duncan's Mills. These great folks will deliver your bike to you outfitted with a helmet, lock, water bottle cage, bell removable front baskets and lots of extras for a very reasonable rate.

Burke's Canoe Trips

Canoe the Russian River! Burke's is located 12 miles away. Pick up your canoe and enter the water at their facility and head downriver for about 10 miles. It's a leisurely paddle and there are lots of gravel beaches where you can stop for a picnic or a swim. Their bus will pick you up about a mile from town and take you back to your car! Don't forget sunscreen. Note: They are open only during the summer months. Cost about $60 for a canoe for the day.

Russian River Wine Road

There are lots of places to go wine tasting nearby. Seriously. Lots and lots. Fabulous wines, beautiful views and some great winery events. The Wine Road site has all the info you'll need to put a great tasting trip together!

Pampering

A Touch of Heaven Massage Therapy

Offers massage therapy at Highlands either outdoors in the center of a grove of mature redwoods or indoors in the comfortable '"Tuscan Room". Book a massage when you make your reservation!

Mud Bath: Indian Springs in Calistoga

Yep, pay good money to sit in a vat of mud. We love this place! The experience hasn't changed for over 100 years. Very relaxing, very vintage and an Olympic size hot pool to float around in after your treatment. Only a 45 minute drive away.
